Khwai is apparently is a bit of a legend with guests, so sorry if he's your favourite! He was lovely, but I thought his trot
was like riding an arthritic table.
It felt like my spine was coming out through the top of my head, and I asked not to ride him again after the long morning ride.

His canter was lovely though He’s 15.2hh, but has a swayed
hammock back, so he’s really more like 14hh when you’re on top. My other problem with the trot is that
he really likes do it, whereas most of the other horses walk when the guide walks, Khwai
likes to jog – PAINFUL!

I don't like to ever blame a horse for my faults, so me riding Khwai obviously is "horses for courses" - we just didn't mesh. Another guest rode him after me and absolutely LOVED his trot, so it was more my problem than Khwai's.

About Me

Firstly, a little about myself. In international relocation parlance I am what is officially known as a "trailing spouse". The term trailing spouse is used to describe a person who follows his or her life partner to another city because of a work assignment. That makes it all sound a bit clinical to me, and what I actually am is a very lucky, incredibly happy chick who loves moving from interesting place to interesting place with her fantastic husband.
